Its the real deal, Neil: Suzuki RGB500 on tardme!

[malcy25]

The big RGs and TZs are not cheap to run, that is a given. We estimated $35 a lap at HD or Pule....and that was a few years ago! Even the twins are not cheap either. But the big thing is that you can buy a TZ and not be scared of using it and not being able to get the parts. Everything is available, cranks, pistons, gearboxes, etc all there. Even replacement tz750 cases at being sorted now as well. None is cheap as they are small production run stuff, but you can get it. The Suzuki world is a little big behind the Yamahas in this regard, but there are enough in use, that the parts flow. The RG in some respects is better as they don't seem to wear the parts so fast.

Reality is that nz history is nice, but these things stand up by themselves on their own merit too.

and that Pete the big question mark.
I'd prefer an RG of the two and what's this bike worth in NZ? .

Yeah RG500's are as cool as shit for sure. Don't think for a nano sec I wouldn't give me left nut to own one. But there's always just been something about TZ750's that just make me want one REAL bad. Like two nuts bad. Maybe it's cause one of my racing heros raced them on dirt ovals...

Have by accident accumulated enough spares to form the key parts of a bike for someone. I never will (not enough time!), but some one may like to!

Shouldn't that post be in the 'Optimistic Sellers' thread???

Naa just kidding, I wouldn't even try to guess what that lot is worth.

Cases alone these days are $4-5k. Shock is $2k.... a tank is $1k, yokes are $750-$1k. Wheels $1k, frame $2k, forks, cranks, Harris swing arm, original swing arm etc all on top. Priced up the kit with a 750 expert friend in the UK a few months back....

In that case it sounds like a pretty good deal for the right person. I'd love to give it a go...
